Everything You Need to Know About STU 22 — Wapping Creative Studio
If you have searched for a creative studio in Wapping or East London, you have probably come across STU 22. Here is everything you need to know before booking.
STU 22 is a creative studio hub on Sampson Street in Wapping, East London — E1W 1NA. Three purpose-built studios under one roof, each designed for a different type of creative work. The space is run by Pass The Lens and R/HOOD — both deeply embedded in London's creative scene.
Infinity Cove — The White Studio
Infinity Cove is the flagship studio. An all-white infinity cyclorama with a seamless 16ft by 16ft cove and 12ft ceilings. This is where e-commerce brands shoot product catalogues, beauty brands produce campaign imagery, and fashion labels create lookbooks. The cyclorama eliminates the visible line between floor and wall, creating that clean floating background commercial clients expect. Natural light pours through large windows but the room can be fully blacked out for strobe control. Private changing room with vanity mirror and Hollywood lighting. From £100/hr, £450 half day, £800 full day.
The Blackout — The Dark Studio
The cinematic counterpart. Matte black walls, black floor, 12ft ceilings, zero ambient light. Every photon in this room is one you put there. Music video directors, editorial fashion photographers, and video production teams use this space to sculpt light and create atmosphere impossible in a lighter environment. Dedicated dressing room with red velvet lounge and Hollywood vanity. From £80/hr, £350 half day, £700 full day.
The Portal — The Sound Studio
Fully soundproofed with professional acoustic treatment across walls and ceiling. DJs record sets here. Podcasters film episodes. Musicians produce tracks. Content creators record voiceover. Features turntables, mixer, quality monitoring speakers, large display, and atmospheric purple and blue lighting designed to look as good on camera as it sounds on playback. From £35/hr.
